PROPACEOS (PRism OPACity and Equation Of State code) generates equation of state (EOS) and multigroup opacity data utilized by radiation-hydrodynamics simulation codes.

For a grid of plasma conditions (temperature and density), PROPACEOS computes frequency-dependent opacities, along with specific internal energies and pressures. Results are written to files suitable for hydrodynamics codes.

In designing PROPACEOS, a strong emphasis has been placed on making it easy to use. It features a user-friendly graphical interface for setting up problems, monitoring the progress of simulations, and displaying results.

PROPACEOS is generally distributed with a set of atomic for atomic elements from hydrogen through argon (Z = 1 - 18). For information on obtaining data for other elements, contact Prism.
